Peonies 
It has been said that the Peonies are the poor man’s Rhododendron. We believe that they are even more than that. When 
they are once planted and become established they last for many years. Their deep green foliage is always an ornament in 
any style of planting. In addition to the foliage, in season the Peonies produce flowers that everyone really) admires. They 
are very easily cared for and with each year they continue to get better. 
You will find our prices are very reasonable. Whether you buy small or large quantities you will find our Peonies a 
real good investment.
